..and a lousy dumbness... no that wasn't it.

Go read This isn't London instead while I try and remember who I am...

The Dog Barons...

"Amalgamated Canine Industries was founded when the dog population of the city was nationalised under the Attlee government in 1948, and its holdings were leased back to the pooches' former owners...

...

On a related topic, it's interesting to note that, although they operate on a freelance basis, the squirrels of St James's Park are unionised. This makes them the third most organised group of animals in London after dogs and wombles. Wombles do not have their own union, but most are members of Unison, the public service union."

Surely the squirrels of St James' Park are signatories to the Official Secrets Act and, like GCHQ employees, forbidden to be members of a union (see R. v. Minister for the Civil Service ex.p. Council of Civil Service Unions [1985] AC 374). Or is that just the ducks?

Maybe the union is part of the cover for the squirrels? Secret squirrels, obv.
